Somewhere around here I have an old Slot-1 Pentium-II board (remember those?) that lived inside my server for a while back in the late 90s. The board itself was 1996 vintage, not much younger than the newest A1200s. Don't recall what the occasion was but around three, four years ago I put power to it and it fired right up and ran memtest86 just fine.
So make of it what you will.
